Happy (late) Thanksgiving!

We hope that you and your family had a fantastic Thanksgiving!  At Papa Weaver's Pork, we are very thankful for your business.  Papa Weaver's Pork is what has allowed our family to continue farming on the family farm that has been in the family since one of my great-great-great grandfathers bought it from James Madison.  I am very grateful that I can come back to the farm and hopefully keep it in the family for generations to come.

Where many people have had the last three days off, on a farm we do not have that luxury.  We do tend to take it a little easier on the holidays, and we don't work all day, but the pigs and cows still have to be fed.  We still have feed to grind, and hay to take out to all of our cows.  And of course the pigs in all the barns have to be fed everyday- we can't just take Black Friday off to go shopping all day!  Thursday was really very much like a normal day, we got up and headed down to the barn so my dad and brother could finish fixing the feed mixer, and then get the feed loaded up in the big feed truck to carry around to all the barns so that the feed tanks could be filled for the next week.  We took some time off to come home and have our big Thanksgiving lunch, but then it was back to the farm.

Yesterday, my mom, Dad, and brother got up at 3 am to head out to those fabulous Black Friday sales.  My dad has to go to Sears to get all his tools on sale.  I personally don't think it's worth it to get up that early and go shopping- I don't need anything quite that badly.  They were home by 7 am, and then my dad headed down to the barn to work on what he needed to do on the farm.  

Thank you for all your business in the past fifteen years- we hope to have many more great years to come!
